context_page_description: Masía el Altet is a family-owned estate that dates back to the 18th century. The building is catalogued by the Valencian Community as "Cultural Patrimony-Building".
  The owner of the rustic farm, The Economist and Auditor Jorge Petit, developed an olive oil business, with a product carrying the same name, from his passion for the agriculture, the grove respects the tradition of farming from the existing centenary olive trees at the farm.
  Originally, the olive oil was sold to Italy and given the exceptional quality obtained, he decided to bottle the so far acclaimed extra virgin olive oil. The acceptance was so great that Jorge Petit started to present his new product in many extra virgin olive oil competitions, becoming the most awarded EVOO in the world.
  Chefs such as Soenil Bahadour, Marco Poldervaart, and Francois Geurts use Masía el Altet and internationally renowned Chef Joël Robuchon both uses the olive oil and is an ambassador for Masía el Altet brand.
context_section_description: The farm is 30 km, as the crow flies, from the Mediterranean Sea. The microclimate brings cold winters and mild summers, and the extreme continental climate is tempered by the gentle weather patterns of the Mediterranean.
  The olive-growing area of the rustic property Masía el Altet has approximately 70 hectares (170 acres), using drip irrigation systems. As regards to the soil management, no tillage is used in bare ground. The cultivation frame is 7×7 metres, with a total of 14,500 olive trees.
  In the rustic property Masía el Altet the crop cultivation and maintenance are maximised in such a way that, through foliar analysis carried out on a regular basis, they try to achieve the optimal nutrients in the olives (both macro-and micro elements).
